To make money. That's the *point* to being in business.
To *increase* gross revenue. To increase shareholders' value.
They don't need the money, which is usually the primary reason for hosting
advertising.
Huh?
JP, why don't you call Doug and talk to him directly about advertising for

Do you believe that e-gold should keep it's growth rates slower
than they can be?
No, but there better ways of increasing the growth rate (currently @
~30%/month) than polluting the spend page with advertising.
Untargeted ads is what's needed.
Then create a TV ad, take out full page ads
As I mentioned in another post, why should MegaCorp be alienated when it
cannot directly contact the existing ~95,000 funded account holders? It
has a consumer base of millions that it can push an advertising campaign
of a new exiciting way to buy our product/service without a credit

So you dump in a wodge of money and use it in small amounts until you
need to refill. And it's useful as a money store and a means to
speculate on gold as well. Hardly rocket science.

everyone is bullish on gold. Apart

INMHO which I have expressed before, the problem with e-gold becoming more
